Bootleg Special

Dinner has its own menu separate from brunch. I really enjoyed the variety of foods we ordered. Cajun fried rice and garlic noodles were extremely tasty. The squid ink rice was something we've had at other restaurants but bootleg special certainly put up a good fight. Food came out so fast which was appreciated and the server was quick to recommend a good cocktail. Would come again but next time I want to try the brunch!

2nd time came back to have brunch. Love it! Food is good. The service is decent and friendly. If you post your food photo to the social media , they will give you free dessert and it's delicious! 10mins walk away from my place so definitely will comeback for dinner and more. Just a small recommendation for the interior to have more lights, it's quite dark

Took my girlfriend out for her birthday. She is a big fan of seafood. Not too busy, we were seated with our reservation immediately. Super disappointed in our first time and ordered The Bootleg Special which was around $150. We waited quite a while for our waters, as the table next to us had already gotten theirs who had a different waitress. That put aside, food came out fairly quick and we started digging in. Unfamiliar territory to me but my girlfriend is familiar with seafood boils (just more casually. This was on the "higher" scale per se but we started digging in. We thought soon after maybe a throw away bucket for our shells, gloves, wet wipes etc would come out. It didn't so we initially asked for napkins and the waiter saw everything piled up but still did not comes with gloves, bucket, wet wipes etc. It was our first time so we didn't know if it had to be asked etc but taking that seafood boil is what they are known for, they'd know. What was shocking was, we thought ok maybe this is normal but it feels weird being this messy in this upscale environment but the 2 other tables our waiter was responsible for were taken care of. They got their bucket, napkins, wet wipes, etc so it ended us very singled out and my girlfriend definitely didn't appreciate it I rarely complain about service, very lenient and generous even at high end but when you are spending $200, you expect service that is proper. For this one, we really had to speak to the manager as we had to fend for ourselves for necessary utensils and had to make do with the app plates that was leftover to be utilized from our appetizer. Our table looked absolutely busted. Thankfully the manager was very understanding and comped us but we definitely left, not wanting to ever come back from the experience which was supposed to be good for the celebratory event

Bootleg Special has a very cool vibe and some pretty delish eats! I've sat inside and outside- the inside has cool New Orleans speakeasy vibe with a long bar and big open dining room. They are famous for the seafood boil which I haven't ordered myself but tried a bite of someone else's and the flavor was great. I've really enjoyed their garlic noodles, Mac n'cheese with flavorful grilled shrimp, and some other tasty bites as well. Cocktails have been very good, staff nice though occasionally complacent as I have been there when it's slow. They have happy hour and late night food and oyster deals, and Thursday Jazz- seem to be running a lot of specials... It's a good date spot or group of friends brunch/dinner spot- plenty of photo ops. A place where you could dress decked out or casual, but it has been pretty slow the times I visited in the off hours. I say give it a try!

The first time I ate here the service was awful and I vowed never to return. I went again with another group who wanted to try it. We were a large party and had the best service I've had in a long time! Our server, Lorina, was prompt, attentive, knowledgeable and very nice! The food is delicious, we tried a lot of the small plates. Do yourself a favor and order the wings, they are delicious! They also have a variety of cocktails for non drinkers. I had a tasty spicy pineapple something! lol It was very good! The next time I'm in Boston I will definitely go back!

GREAT brunch place!!! MUST-HAVE soufflé pancake. It takes a while so order it first with your drinks/apps. Check out their mocktails, too. Friendly service. A bit of a Nawlins vibe with the decor. Our party of 6 enjoyed all of the food.

PHENOMENAL!Let me type that one more time...PHENOMENAL!First off the service was SO GREAT. Like above and beyond. I'm almost positive our server's name was Denise (I apologize if I got that incorrect). Her customer service was the highlight of our day. The ambiance is dope. Lighting was chill. Music was chill. Just wish the AC was a little bit more chill, but that was not a problem. Cool artwork on the walls. Now the food. OMG sooooo Dee-LISH. I had the bootleg Benedict eggs. I can't put into words how good it was. I shared soufflé pancakes with my wife and that was amazing too. I highly HIGHLY recommend this spot!TWO THUMBS ALL THE WAY UP!!!

When I say order the brunch only garlic noodles!!!!!! You will not be disappointed. This is was showstopper and I almost ordered another plate to go. This was my first time coming for brunch. The soufflé pancakes although beautiful were not my cup of tea but I was happy for the experience. Espresso martini or three! These were so deliciously crafted. The shrimp in both the noodles and the grits were top notch, however I'd pass on the grits again (a bit lumpy and dry). Our server Andres was very accommodating and checked on us multiple times with a giant smile. We ate outside since it was such a beautiful day. I didn't expect to enjoy the scenery of traffic as much as I did - it added something special and unapologetic about city living. Can't wait to return.

Service: extremely slow. We got in and had to wait 12 min just to be greeted by the waitress. We quickly ordered after she arrived the mama sus big bag of crab. This came out at 8:02Garlic noodles ; this was okay I have definitely had better. These were more saucy.. this came out at 7:57. We ordered at 7:18..So if you plan to sit for long this is a good place. Overall the seafood I would give it a 3/5 Music and atmosphere was good.Got beignet and chocolate cake: both I would pass on. Low sweetness.

The ambiance feels like you're in a fun club and the service is attentive. We loved the fried rice with squid ink, definitely coming back for that! Portions are generous, come hungry.The only thing I wouldnt get again was the surf and turf. It was ok. Seafood was delicious, shrimp and scallops were succulent. Steak wasn't seasoned well and a bit dry. The noodles drowned in salty sauce and not al dente. Other than that, I enjoyed everything else!
